App Block vs. Category Block
You can block specific apps or you can block all apps and sites within a category.
Our categories cover tens of thousands of apps and sites. If you don't see a particular app or site listed, it is likely covered by a category rule.
You're also able to block a category while allowing an app within that category. For example, you can block the Social Media category and also allow the Discord app.
